Articulated registration of 3D human geometry to X-ray image

A fully automatic 3D-2D articulated registration algorithm for aligning a whole-body human geometry to a 2D X-ray image is presented. Domain prior in the form of a hierarchical model encapsulating the kinematic structure of the human body is exploited. A deformation operator is then defined with res...

Description
Summary:A fully automatic 3D-2D articulated registration algorithm for aligning a whole-body human geometry to a 2D X-ray image is presented. Domain prior in the form of a hierarchical model encapsulating the kinematic structure of the human body is exploited. A deformation operator is then defined with respect to the hierarchical model. An iterative search using ICP is performed to estimate the optimal deformation parameters. Empirical results indicate good matching rates of 94% and above. Requiring minimal user intervention, the method is suited for large-scale data acquisition in human anthropometric studies.
